The easy path is the only path for many. Our world has changed. Instant gratification is the name of the game. What is the easiest way to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves? To be ruthless, to worry about nothing, unless it directly affects us or our goals. This includes other people.

Why stand up for the co-worker who consistently seems to get the short end of the stick, for no other reason than they don't have the strength to stand up for themselves.

Because it's right!!!

Unfortunately that isn't how people are taught anymore. If society teaches us everyday in every aspect of our lives that the only person we need to look out for is ourselves then is it any wonder that all the things we see and hear on the news are really happening around the world every single day.

Wake up people... WE are the only ones that can change this.
It isn't going to happen today or tomorrow. It is something that we need to WORK at every single day for the rest of our lives.

It's gonna be hard..... Prepare yourself for resistance.

sometimes they are sorry they were not able to live up to the promise or responsibility, and they dont know how to handle it,,,,,or face the person they have wronged,,,,, other times they may feel someone is forcing responsibilities on them, or promises from them,,,,, when they really did not want to accept it
i think a first step in trying to analyze anyone else, is to analyze yourself,,,,,, why do you feel this person had this responsibility or made this promise to you? did they really wish to, or were they pushed into it,,,,,,is this person one who just doesnt realize that other people do take them seriously? and expect them to do what they say they will do? sometimes you just have to accept people for how they are,,,,,, and just make a pledge not to be like that,,,

Because keeping silent is the easiest route. Responsibility requires work, and most times that work isn't the most pleasant of tasks.

Fear, usually. They fear they cannot afford to actually go through with what they promised or set out to do. A sense of duty is first and foremost the sign of courage.

People tend to lean towards the easiest thing to be done in a situation. Knowing this, I find that if I always make sure that if I leave the easiest thing to be done in a situation to the person I'm supposed to be trusting, They'll do it because it's easiest, and then I'll be in a position to always give them praise for their welldoing instead of getting angry at them because they didn't accomplish a difficult task I gave them. I tend to know that the only one I should really be counting on is myself in most situations because I have the logic of a responsible adult, even if others don't. Supernanny will always tell you, getting upset will never help anything in a situation. Only giving praise for someone's well doing will change any situation, especially when people have a natural tendency to act like children when things aren't going right for them. So I trust myself to find competant help and for my family and friends, I don't give them any requests that would be against natural logic of their willpower. For example: Say someone left their keys and had to borrow yours. Knowing that it'd be easy for a person to forget about you once they had themselves taken care of (by having your key), it'd be best to plan it so they meet you at a certain time so you can open the door for them, which in such a case the key remains in your responsible possession. If they get to the place before you and they need the key, either have them leave the door unlocked, or tell them to look you in the eye, and speak with conviction in saying "If I can't get into the house today, this will be the last time I help you, but if this goes smoothly, I'll be very proud of you and we can go do this afterwards" and maybe go do something fun with the person as a reward for being a responsible individual. No matter what the age. Soon if a person proves he's trustworthy, you can give him bigger tasks without fear, but always by default, trust responsibilities that concern yourself, with only yourself. If you give the responsibilities and someone else messes up, it's no one elses fault but your own for throwing away your responsibilities. For delicate matters like love, Pain is just a natural risk. So make sure you know that the person you give your heart to, is trustworthy. And if you're going to trust them by default , without any prior proof, then be aware that it's quite possible that this individual could hurt you with a perceptively selfish act. As much as you may like to trust anyone, it's best to trust yourself with your responsibilities. As said prior, people will do the easiest thing to do in most cases. Exceptional beings will go beyond the call of duty, and slackers will naturally do the least possible to get by. But everyone will do better with PRAISE. Scolding and punishment never ever helps in the end. There's always a detrimental affect that comes with that, and people will find you unpleasant if you take that route. Leave them to be free, and handle your responsibilities yourself. If you're going to trust someone, have it be a hired professional SPECIFICALLY for the job. That way if they mess up, you can sue them. You can't sue your family for not keeping a promise, so keep that in mind as a good reason why you should trust yourself with your responsibilities, or responsibilities that indirectly effect you. And always make sure that the hired professional is doing the job you hired them to do. If you hired a stock broker, he's only there to connect you with your stocks, he's not a consultant or a legal advisor. He can try to give you advice, but it's your decision. You're the one who CHOOSES to take his advice if you do take it. So it's not his fault. You can't sue him for that. You can only sue him if he destroys the job you gave him to do well under his professional title. Unless of course risk is part of the natural agreement. As though for investors with startup capital for new business. So in retrospect, people prefer to go away or be silent instead of taking responsibility and keeping promises because they'd prefer to focus on things more fun and enjoyable than obligation and risk. They'll always lean towards the easiest thing to do in a situation rather than something difficult. Keep this in mind when you give promises to be kept and responsibilities, and you should always be in a good position.

People are either afraid of hurting, or they just don't care. Too many people just don't care about anyone but themselves. We have become a very self-serving world.
